Welcome To The Poe Tree

Naked Under The Poe Tree invites you to experience humanity through the evolution of awareness; crossing terrains of desire, ignorance, grief, peace, compassion and inward towards intrinsic joy. Through the experience, glimpses of vast open space arise to bestill the reader.

Naked is about exploring the phases of understanding and compassion that the full breadth of human experience requires for the evolution of a pearl of heart-wisdom.

This blog is evolving into a collection of works from various poets and writers with similar intentions and is open to contributions on an ongoing basis.

passing through

“honey, its in the stars,” I had fallen for a wandering gypsy mentor Drawn to a mystical wisdom by a rhythm beating louder than his own heart To the next thing that seemed like a promising omen

And if its any consolation We will both be wandering In service of self born artists or broken instruments of spirit’s song Dancing and being danced Equally Miserable and mystified by the grand scale of give and take

and if our egos (on their lunch breaks) might let us once again play like children in that open field free from specu-la-tion a long day’s breath under the sun

it might just be so entertaining That the big tree we swing in Will shelter us through the night Letting us curl together Rocked gently under the moaning moon

I don’t have to be for you And you don’t have to be for me We are just forever Passing through Laughing and throwing our arms up to What we can never hold onto

I am a social entrepreneur living in Victoria, BC Canada with a steady pulse for the revolutionary life of being a fully awakened human. I nourish this intention with lifelong training in yoga, Shambhala mindfulness practice and Ayurveda. I seek to catalyze liberation in relationships to self and others by designing liberating experiential workshops. I am honoured to advise on the topic of integrating practices for deeper connection in relationships towards seIf, loved ones, community, and via the world of technology. I value the power of self expression to heal social psyche and transmit empowered messages (particularly through speaking, song, visual art, design, social media etc.) these messages are rooted in my experience of choosing a holistic lifestyle. My jam: collaborating for change towards a more freed up way of relating - sustained and directed from the inside out. These things have my YES: Spontaneous acts of kindness, travelling, collecting stories of unlikely hero moments, dance in life and on the dancefloor to Samba, Salsa, Brazilian inspired dances such as Zouk,) Mother Nature -and those who study it closely- (these are my teachers, healers, home and muses,) designing spaces for inspired living, surfing, consciousness expanding conversations.
